Is an Opinion of the Supreme Court the ‘Law of the Land’? Let’s ask Thomas Jefferson. . .

I like your posting!

Since the US is a representative democratic Republic, then the two houses of Congress should have the most power.

[FredZarguna]

The put the Articles of the Constitution in the order they did for a reason.

[4Runner]

Last I looked Kim Davis was not a federal government employee.

Yet the only thing you hear coming out of the media’s maw is how this clerk is a “government” employee who is flaunting federal law.

Kim Davis is a state employee and there is nothing in Kentucky law which requires her to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples.

This dispute hasn’t anything to do with religion, but everything to do with state’s rights and the federal government running roughshod over state law and invalidating it claiming some kind of “trumping” supremacy it never was supposed to have and will never in truth have.

As another poster has said, we are being ruled by tyrants in the executive and judicial branches of the federal government which branches have been gifted by a severely dysfunctional congress with powers intended by the Constitution to be the sole province of congress and the people only.

The one thing the left in America does better than even the Nazis did is create and run propaganda machines which obscure and deflect the ability of the citizen to see the truth.

I have a neighbor who’s a screaming liberal and whose favorite statement is “Fed trumps State! Fed trumps State [law]!”

As though this was all some sort of card game on the internet. He is a drunk and an internet gambler by the way.

The Constitution didn’t set up good methods to enforce everything that America might have needed …

Actually it did. And then some key articles were taken out in the early 20^th Century, replaced by some very dire amendments in 1913 that among other things diminished state power and consolidated federal power.

Oh yes, the deliberate mental rewrite of the Supremacy Clause. Aside from judicial opinion not being law, there are lots of federal laws that are unconstitutional yet enforced by lawless bureaucrats at that level, and there are illegal executive branches that are acting as a Politburo. Libs will only take this seriously once they start being personally affected; but right now they are in “two minutes hate” mode.

[Cold Heat]

I think he makes that point because the legal argument is easier, not necessarily more valid.

From the woman’s standpoint, it is about religious liberty. But from the legal perspective there are other more compelling arguments to them.

To her, nothing could be more compelling.

[Olog-hai]

Certainly resulted in the first imprisonment based on Christian beliefs in the USA. The very thing that the Constitution was designed to prevent.

[NoLibZone]

"The only problem with Kim Davis's position is that mass resistance has not occurred on the part of Christians.”

So posting on some obscure site is not going to result in change?

[NoLibZone]

For any conservative today to claim any semblance to what our Founders did is Stolen Valor.

We are pond scum compared to those great, brave men.

[Rome2000]

Remember

The 3 branches are NOT equal.

Congress is first.

The Executive second.

The SCOTUS is third and there is no limit to the amount of “Justices” that can be appointed to that branch, the Right Wing needs to add at least 5 John Birch Society members to that effed up institution.

Finally there is absolutely no Constitutional Authority for ANY Federal Court save the SCOTUS.

The existing “Federal Judiciary” can be annihilated by the Executive and Congress.

The “Federal Judiciary” is a jobs program for lawyers.

TRUMP is NOT a lawyer.

[Olog-hai]

I would never dare claim anything on that order and have not done so, but I do have to say that failing to learn from those men means that they had lived and acted in vain.

I sure would like to have had the Founding Fathers around to deal with the communists. They would make those godless types feel the fear of the God they claim doesn’t exist. And that is precisely what we need to learn.

[jospehm20]

“the Senate not willing to work with the House to remove such justices from the bench”

It is not like the Boner led House is straining at the bit to impeach anyone either.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Um... I am not that naively sanguine about any act of man any more. Some might put Americana up on the altar of reverence with the picture of Jesus but I don’t.

[HiTech RedNeck]

What blesses your formula over all other formulas? Anyone can toss a bible into a blender and wood chipper, take what comes out, and call it The One Revealed Way.

Your God looks suspiciously like Yosemitest.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It’s the nature of people to look for something to arbitrate questions. Acting as though that didn’t exist and the world could always be treated as a herd of cats, is a solecism against human nature.

This is how the weight of the U.S. “world” got balanced on the pinhead that is the USSC, a ludicrously inadequate “court of last resort” and a tempting pressure point for the unscrupulous. It’s not like we had no warning signs about that either.

[Ray76]

> I think he makes that point because the legal argument is easier, not necessarily more valid.

I understand the conscientious objection however I think it is going to be very difficult to defend; she wasn’t conscripted, she was elected to perform an administrative duty which by necessity must be performed impartiality, this was understood when the job was accepted. Far better, both tactically as well as more justifiably, is to reject the illegal order of the court which no one is bound to obey.

[Ray76]

typo - impartiality s/b impartially

[Yosemitest]

Read it out of your OWN Bible.

Then either OBEY GOD, or not.
The choice is up to you, and you WILL answer for your decisions,



TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written:

“ For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,
even the SOULS that commit them
SHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people. ”

Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.

It was given by our Heavenly Father to test us
to see ... if we will OBEY our Heavenly Father,
and abide by His commandments, statues, and ordinances.

Someone once asked

"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"

The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE".

rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]

1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.


Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.




2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.

They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.

3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.

And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

[HiTech RedNeck]

I have read my own bible, not just “snippets directed by someone else with agendas” out of my own bible.

And I know thereby you are coming up with scads of distortions, which greatly vitiate any good that might otherwise be achieved.

You are particularly hypocritical to post the portrait of George Washington, whose actual religious faith would have rebuked you because it actually WAS whole-bible biblical.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Religions of pride, which you are wallowing in, cannot stand a chance before organized evil. It can easily entertain the same evil it pretends to hate, in its own chambers.

Faith of love, which I preach out of a whole bible, CAN stand it. Read 1 Cor 13 about what profiteth the writer.

I realize this may fall on a deaf ear with you, but there is always hope before the judgment date.
